The following questions are NOT to be handed in, but it is essential to try them
before tutorial!
       The questions with a red star are the “at least do these for now/start with these” absolute bare-
        minimum questions during the occasional super-busy week.

Calculus)

2.2: THE LIMIT OF A FUNCTION
Learning Objectives:
     Definition of the (sided) limit of a function at a point;
     Infinite limits, vertical asymptotes.
  1) For the function whose graph is given, state the value of each quantity, if exists. If it
     does not exist, explain why.
     a) lim! ( )              b) lim" ( )        c) lim ( )
           →                        →                   →
      d) lim! ( )              e) lim" ( )           f) lim ( )
            →                        →                   →
      g)    (2)                h) lim ( )
                                     →#
  2) For the function $ whose graph is shown below, state the following.
